Folding side mirrors
My side mirrors have always folded in after shutting the car off. Lock is set to passive lock. Got run into from behind the other day, very slow speed but enough to mess up back up carrier and warning light now on that hatch is open. Anyway, now they do not auto fold. I van press the switch and they will ⅚but not auto. The setting for auto is on. Any thoughts?

The mirrors fold during/after the passive locking occurs. Is the passive locking occurring with the hatch open indication? It seems to me that when I have the trunk or frunk open that the passive locking doesn’t happen. I could be mistaken though, in my garage I normally disable passive locking (after opening drivers door, press and hold the unlock button on the door until you hear a tone) and then leave the doors unlocked and the frunk ajar with the battery maintainer plugged in. The owner’s manual says passive locking should occur if the DOORS are closed, so nothing in the manual about the hatch having to be closed.
